2016 TOYOTA COROLLA Engine Problems

We own a 2016 Toyota Corolla Sport model. 4 door sedan. We first started to notice a loud sound that was seemingly coming from the front of the car. It was a whining, rattling sound. The car's mileage is 87k. We took it into the shop, we were first told that it sounded like a bearing going out in the wheel. Then we took it to a licensed Toyota dealership. The dealership then tells us that it is actually due to the transmission chain, and our transmission will need to be replaced for $8900!! So I begin to dig online, and find that our model is the same years of other Toyota models that Toyota has a KNOWN problem with. This is a major issue, and puts our safety at risk if the transmission just suddenly goes out. The Toyota dealership has confirmed that we have an issue, and are...

I have been driving my car since 2016, however since Nov 24, 2023. Incidents that alarm me have happen. I have filed a police report but don't have the funds to get vehicle swept. All of these events occur while I am driving. Passenger windows goes up in and down a lot. Static in my speakers. Steering wheels lock. somethings draining my battery. though I have ensured nothings on or there isn't any short fuses. Doors unlock. Door beeps though someone has had access. Trunk pops open. I am reaching out to NHTSA because my safety is at risk. Is any other Corolla owners reporting this. Please assist me.

Toyota has installed several parts on my 2016 corolla that were previous years' parts. In previous complaints, the tires (under 11,000 miles) started to dry rot. When filing the warranty repair, the dealerships and Toyota tried to claim that it was normal. After deep investigation, it was found that the tires were actually over a YEAR older than the release of the vehicle. The tire warranty started when they were sold to Toyota, not when the car was purchased. They did the same thing on Air intake components for the Air filter system for the car. This is the 3rd issue. Since I purchased the lease in 2016. The car constantly had a check engine light. Typically, it was suggested it was a "gas cap pressure check failure". But at all of the routine inspections and services. Dealerships never did anything but clear the code and keep going. I recently...

Car began with issues switching gears. It would hesitate to go into gear and once it was finally in gear it began to buck. Currently stationed overseas And brought my car to Toyota multiple times and was told they wouldn’t look at it since it’s an American spec Toyota and not a European. After a week of trying to get it fixed with no luck the vehicle began getting worse and wasn’t able to go above 35 miles an hour. Finally the check engine light came on. Brought it into a local mechanic and a P 2820 J code was the issue. After researching online I found that Toyota had a service campaign for the same issues I was having. The problem is with the ECU and the cars solenoid. Currently trying to get it repaired but Toyota will not help since I’m stationed overseas in europe and it’s an...

I DROVE TO TOYOTA ARLINGTON FOR TIRE ROTATION ON 2/4/21 AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. ODOMETER WAS 44091 MILES. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, I DROVE ABOUT A MILE THEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER. THE CAR COULD ONLY GO ABOUT 5 MPH. THE CAR JERK UP AND DOWN AS IF I DROVE ON THE RAIL ROAD TRACKS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRAC OFF AND RED STEERING WHEEL SYMBOL LIT UP BUT NOT FLASHING. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER RIGHT AWAY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, THE ATTENDANT TURNED IT BACK ON. THE CHECK ENGINE, TRACK OFF AND STEERING SYMBOLS WERE OFF. THE CODE WAS NOT SAVED, SO ON 2/8/21 THE INDEPENDENT SHOP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM (44132 MILES). ON 2/12/21 THE SAME SYMPTOMS CAME BACK AT 44175 MILES. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING, TRACK OFF LIGHT AND STEERING WHEEL SYMBOLS CAME ON BUT NOT FLASHING. MY...

TRAC OFF, CHECK ENGINE, AND MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHTS SUDDENLY APPEARED WHILE THE COROLLA WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A STATE ROAD. THE CAR HAD JUST PASSED ITS 20,000 WARRANTY CHECK WITH NO PROBLEMS. I WAS ON THE WAY TO A REGULARLY SCHEDULED ONCOLOGY APPOINTMENT. I HAD TO CANCEL THE APPOINTMENT AND DRIVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER. TECHNICIANS DETERMINED A RODENT HAD CHEWED THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL HARNESS. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED BY ANY TOYOTA WARRANTY. SO FAR, I'VE BEEN FORCED TO SPEND NEARLY $1,000 ON RODENT-RELATED REPAIRS. I HAVE STAGE IV CANCER. I BOUGHT THIS CAR EXPRESSLY TO HAVE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION TO CANCER TREATMENTS, MOST OF WHICH ARE OUT OF STATE. I CAN'T AFFORD THESE RAT-RELATED REPAIRS. LETTERS AND PHONE CALLS TO TOYOTA HAVE PROVED FUTILE AND FRUSTRATING. THE RATS ARE CONSIDERED BY THE CORPORATION AS AN OUTSIDE SOURCE, AND THEREFORE, NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. THE "OUTSIDE SOURCE"...
